Claims

1. I claim a new and distinct grape plant substantially as described and
illustrated herein.

Description

[0001] Latin name: Vitis interspecific hybrid.

[0002] Variety denomination: `Crimson Pearl`.

BACKGROUND OF THE VARIETY

[0003] `Crimson Pearl` is a new and distinct variety of grape plant
selected from a group of seedlings resulting from a controlled cross of
female parent `MN 1094` (not patented) and male parent `E.S. 4-7-26` (not
patented) carried out at Hugo, Minn. in 1996. `Crimson Pearl` was
selected for its excellent winter hardiness, late bud break in springtime
and excellent suitability as a red wine grape. Asexual propagation by
hardwood cutting was first carried out in 2002 at Hugo, Minn.; subsequent
asexual propagations have shown the variety to be stable and to reproduce
true to type through successive generations.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIETY

[0004] `Crimson Pearl` is a late-budding grape variety notable for its
winter hardiness, late bud break in springtime, and suitability as a red
wine grape.

[0005] A comparison of `Crimson Pearl` to its parents is shown in Table 1
below.
